Thanks so much guys!!

I shall try both lowering the baud rate and using an external 4mhz crystal.

it makes sense that it would need a correct oscillator and not the internal one, I'm still just working my way up from simple blinking on and off.....

I have no idea what OSCCAL or OSCTUNE are, but that's what the helpfile and google are for.

THANKS!!!!!!

OSCCAL and/or OSCTUNE are some register available on some PIC model which allow you to fine tune the internal OSC.

But bear in mind that ALL internal OSC will shift depending of temperature, humidity, gas price, wind direction leap year and so on. If your application is not timing critical, they are really useful, unless cross your fingers
